Twenty years ago Timmins had a wellâ€"established football club. As a matter of fact Timmins; was primarily responsible for the organization and maintenance of the Northern Ontario Football Association in its earlier days. Timmins popularized football in the North. Twenty years ago football was prospering here under the guidance oi men like the late Bill Field, and of others like W. F. B. Cadman, J. W. FPaithful, J. Thomas and a how; of others. The 1923 season was a successâ€" ful one both from the viewpoint of sport and finances. B. E. Lambie was elected president for 1924 and W. A. Field was) reâ€"elected secretaryâ€"treasurer. Another annual meeting held at tais time twenty years ago was that of the Timmins Tennis Club. The club startâ€" ed out the new years with a credit balâ€" ance of 65 cents, but the previous seaâ€" son had been a good one in every way. W. O., Langdon was elected pres¢dent for 1924, and W. H. Wilson, secretaryâ€"treaâ€" surer. Reference was made in The Advance twenty years ago to the purchase of the King George Hotel, corner at South Porcupine, by Messrs Pillsworth and Levinson, the price paid being $5,000.00 or 40 per foot frontage. The Advance twenty years ago noted a very lively annual meeting of the Dome Mines. There were objections raised by Rochester and Toronto interâ€" ests to the 1923 directorate and proâ€" ceedings waxed rather warm at times. However, the great majority were beâ€" hind President Bache and the directors and all were reâ€"elected. President Bache gave a clearâ€"cut defence and exâ€" planation of the policy of the board of directors. He said he would be pleased to have a Canadian representative on the board, if a suitable one could be secured to act. A comprehensive report of operations at the mine was given by General Manager H. P. DePencier. The shareholders were convinced that the mine was in good condition and their interests were being well looked after. Still another annual meeting held twenty years ago was that of the Timâ€" mins board of trade. T. F. King was elected president and he selected the following executive or "cabinet" as he called it at the time: Mining dept., C. G. Williams; fire protection and insurâ€" ance, J. E. Newton; legislation, G. H. Gauthictr; transportation, D. Ostrosâ€" ser; public works, H. J. Marshall; merâ€" cantile, W. Rinn; settlers) and lumberâ€" ing, G. A. Macdonald. This was the same executive as the previous year with a couple of exceptions, J. E. Newâ€" ton, replacing G. S. Drew, and H. J. Marshall taking the place of A. Braâ€" zeau. T wenty YearsAgo trom the Advance At the annual meeting of the Norâ€" thern Ontario Football Association, H. J. Laidlaw twenty years ago was reâ€" elected president. The president‘s reâ€" view of the year showed interest and support for football were being well maintained and all was going well. The Advance twenty years ago had a story of gold being found at James Bay before the war. One of the partâ€" ners in the find was killed overseas but the other planned that sumimer to go ito the James Bay area to take up work again on the property. The choir of the Presbyterian church, | Timmins, held a very pleasant social | evening on April 7th, 1924, at the home | yies |ing and singing and a most enjoyable. time was spent by all. ' Among the local and personal items \‘in The Advance twenty years ago the following: "Mrs. Jos. Fenn left last week for a visit to Bracebridge." ,‘S. Eplett, of New Liskeard, was a business visitor to town this week." "Red Briâ€" | den, of Seattle, brother of D. Briden of the McIntyre‘s winning hockey team, is in the camp." "H. J.

More Red Tape in British Rationing Than in U.S. Plan (By Agnes Adams) Troublesome as the U.S. rationing system may seem when we hurry into a grocery store and have to fish for ration tokens, in addition to money, the American rationing system is relatively simple in comparison to the British. Comparison of the Two Sysâ€" tems Used. According to the British Information Services, the following system of rationâ€" ing prevail:;; there. Food supplies are raticned in three ways: ordinary, points and personal points. Points: A consumer may spend a given rumber of points a month, withâ€" out regij.ration with a retailer, for any of the following: canned meats and meat products, canned fish, rice, sago, tapioca, canned fruits and vegetables, condensed milk, breakfast foods (except oat products) dried beans and peas, dried fruit, cookies, syrup and molasses. Personal Points: Chocolate and canâ€" dy are under this system. Each perâ€" son has a given number of points weekâ€" ly to be spent when convenient. No registration is required.

The main idea, to prevent loss,should be to keep the frost in the ground as long as possible. There is more damage done by the warmth of the sun alternated with cold freezing nights than by low temperatures durâ€" ing the depth of winter. .This applies to grass as well as perennials. Alterâ€" nate thawing and freezing tends to toosen a plant‘s hold on life by breakâ€" ing up the fine, fibrous feederâ€" roots, sometimes destroying the plant itself. Where plants have been mulched in the Fall it is best to leave them their.coverâ€" ing of moss or brush until the frost is completely out of the ground. . | With Easter . already pastâ€" our thoughts turn naturally to the hotâ€"bed or cold frame that will house the seedâ€" lings now beginning to show. signs of vigorous growth. There is no essential difference between a. hotâ€"bed or cold: frame, both ars used to carry young plants over the critical. period ‘that ensues while they are fast emerging from the seedling stage with no. earth ready to receive them.. They can be built of scran lumber so .long .as all cracks are plugged to exclude draughxs A fair grade of sliiplap would be betber for a permanent job. . : The frame should: be> built facing south, to a height of: two : and: a: half feat in front, sloping slightly upwardS' to the back; . wide enough and_lond enough to accomodate wind? ows. Straps‘ along the; inside <of the frame at the top. and ;a. *~crossâ€"pi¢ce down the centre to. support the 'wm'd-, ows are all that is neC°ssary to â€" comp- lete the job. | The hotâ€"bed, as its mame applies, is a heated. frame. Fresh‘ barnyard manure is the most. conveni¢nt‘. and cconomical source: of heat to use f_ér' this; purpose. The manure. "‘b'ei packed tightly into the ‘bottomâ€"of the; frame to a depth of about a foot and1 covered with soil. The heat generatedq during the process to decomposition will be mors than ‘sufficient for: the need of young plants. There â€"may. he too much heat as the weather gets warmer but this can ‘be‘ céorrected= 'by keeping the frame well . aired ‘ during the daytime when the weathear is favay~ able. Seed "can te planted directly in ‘the ‘soil inâ€" the ‘hotâ€"bed but it is usually more convenient to use separate containers for individual varieties. . Many gardeners prefer to use a cold frame for the protection of seedlings. In someâ€"respect:| it is better than a hotâ€" bed but plants cannot be moved into it so early. ~A cold frame has no source of heat except that supplied by the sun‘s rays. Growth is less vigorous but plants tend to become more hardy and less inclined to dampen off in the abâ€" sence ofâ€"artificial heat. To retain heat accumulated during the hours of sunâ€" light the frame should be covered at night withâ€"an old carpet or a few gunny sacks); thisâ€" applies to hotâ€"beds as well ‘as cold frames. _ Extremé caution should be exercised when‘:exposing ‘young plants to direct éxunll'g-ht for‘ the <first time. Certain rys of’t;he ‘Ssun do not penetx at2 ordinâ€" ary g}ags and these rays are fatal to young plén‘ts or seedlings if they are Aeftâ€" in full| cumhght for any length of 'ttme without previous hard2ning.
